We are unable to accommodate field trips of less than 25 people. Smaller groups are always welcome to visit the farm and pay the general admission fee (fruit not included).
- We require that groups bring at least two adult chaperones to help organize and supervise the children. If you are booking a group with more than 25 children, we require one chaperone per every ten children. A minimum of 25 people must be guaranteed.
- Groups must arrive at least 15 minutes early, as the train ride into the orchards will leave promptly at your scheduled start time. Since we often have groups scheduled back-to-back and because there is no access to the orchards by car, we need to ask for complete cooperation with this matter.
- We do not require a deposit .
